Is there any advantage to using balanced trs cables between kemper and pedalboard? I was going to get a small mic snake to run between the two. it will be for input into the kemper and output from the kemper back to the pedal board for stereo effects sends and returns.

I see no advantage.
All 1/4 " outputs are for TS cable and unbalanced (with the exception of headphone jack).
Which advantage do you expect with TRS-Cabel.
They only make sense with balanced signals. (compensation by polarity) -
You would need DI boxes to convert the unbalanced signals to balanced and a different kind of box to convert to unbalanced again (if just one connection is unbalanced, the whole chain becomes unbalanced - so you can't just plug balanced cable into an unbalanced jack). That would be a lot of boxes!

would it still pass signal? it just would't be balanced anymore?
It SHOULD pass signal - but there's absolutely no benefit over a standard TS cable

I use a 20' TRS cable from the monitor out to my monitor which is usually next to my pedalboard. KPA monitor out is unbalanced, the monitor wants balanced. Never have noise or signal issues with the balanced cable. Works great. For the pedalboard, I use TS cables and a buffer for the long run.

If your monitor input is also unbalanced, than you're wasting money with no added value.
If your monitor is expecting a balanced signal than obviously it has a protection circuit.

Great MonitorYup, monitor would like a balanced signal. But, as I said, it works great this way and no noise.
